result in property damage and add significantly to installation costs.
If an existing venting system is converted for use with this heater, the installer must ensure that the existing venting system is clean and
free from particulate contamination that could damage the heater. Failure to do so could result in property damage and heater failure.
Such failure IS NOT covered under warranty.
CONCENTRIC VENTING THROUGH AN EXISTING SYSTEM
NOTE: The following instructions refer only to venting through an existing vent system, and not to venting with Westinghouse
free from particulate contamination that could damage the heater. Failure to do so could result in property damage and heater failure.
